What is Pearly and Pig and the Great Hairy Beast about?

Pearly Woe worries about almost everything, especially whether she is brave enough to join the secret Adventurologists’ Guild. Her unusual ability to speak to animals helps her understand her loyal pet pig, Pig, but it cannot stop trouble from finding them. When Pearly’s parents disappear and Pig is kidnapped, she stows away on an icebreaker bound for Antarctica. There, amid freezing seas, dangerous secrets and a mysterious hairy beast, Pearly must overcome her fears and rescue those she loves.
